I discovered today that my abuser has just got into a relationship with someone I vaguely know. I'm terrified that he'll do the same to her. I can't warn her because he's probably already discredited me and whenever someone reveals his abuse, nearly everyone I know just ignores it. I thought I'd never have to see him again, since leaving the group of friends there are no consequences to ignoring him. But I can't get away, he's everywhere. He even haunts my dreams. I just want to feel safe so I can recover but it doesn't seem like I'll ever be able to do that. Sorry if this isn't very coherent
Even with warnings, someone like that will make excuses. Mine did. Many people warned me but I didn't listen. He always had excuses to make it so it was never his fault.
It is scary to think it will happen to someone else but sometimes it is out of our hands
@Yellowrose10 I wish people would believe me. They always say “well he’s always nice to me!” and it’s like he’s not going to announce that he’s an abuser to the world is he? I hate it so much
